There IL Just one more thing | want to
say before | sit down. There is a story
told of one of the most modest men who
ever lett Vermont which Is worth relat-
ing. This cOnrade never said word
about the incident to me, but was told
this by Col. w. b. Hatch, who was com
missioned by the governor of Vermont to
look after the wounded, and was present
after the battles of the Wilderness and
Spottsylvania The gentleman | refer to
Is no other than our cDmrade and friend
Gen. p. p. Pitkin, who, you will remem-
Der was your first quartermaster, and in
the Wilderness campaign had outgrown
your regiment and was one of the chief
quartermasters in the Army of the
Potomac Gen. Pltkin had charge
of transporting the wounded from
The battle fields and had the only
steamer at Acquia Creek and was load
ing the same with the wounded, and look
inv carefully after their comfort. He had
with HIM company of infantry as n
guard. During this work a general OIL
Ger with his staff rode down to the land
Jag and demanded the boat to carry him
self, staff and horses to Washington, and
to let the wounded wait. This, Comrade
iitkin refused TO do Our gallant major
Stutldl lDSlStel anu lOlu ABOUT MS super

the story short, believe that Gen ptkin
said that only the way he could get that
boat was, 10y overpowering his company
which was drawn up in line on the dock aud
facing the shore. He also said that if
there was any room to spare after the
wounded men were placed on board, he
would be glad to let them 90. never
knew whether this general got to Wash
ingtOn by this boat or not, put always
felt that our modest and efficient friend
would look out for the boys whether they
were wounded or not III spite of all the
rank that could be brought against him,
ANA was a man who would never be
swerved from his duty. Pardon this long
and rambling talk from Il soldier who was
not member Of the Second regiment,
but believe, who WILL with all other sol.
dlers take off his hat and stand at atten-
ton. when any member OF the Second reg

in his front AS SAID before, your record
is second to none. May the memories of
your dead comrades be ever fresh IN your
minds. May God bless you and your fam

and enjoy many reunions, is my most
heartfelt wish for every one of you.

The Andover trustees and the professor
when the visitors voted to remove are
both TO enter appeals to the Supreme
Court against that judgment, and they
propose to carry on the seminary just as
usual. Grave doubt exists whether the
decision, surprising it to have been rem
dered by men all of whom are qualified
for their places and holding their places
in other respects rightfully is, after all, u
legal decision. 1t is thought to be self
contradictory, and even invalid through
its absurdity. The statutes under which
the visitors act do not give them any such
discretion as would permit the condemn
ing of one professor, land the acquittal of
another Oh the same charges, sustained
10y the same evidence. There were five
separate indictments and must have been
five separate votes. Professor Smyths
case was first on the list. The vote was
that the evidence proved him guilty
But four subsequent votes on the four
following cases declared that the same
evidence was not sufficient to sustain the
same charges. This was, in reality, Il
reversal of the first decision. 1t will be
claimed that the final action of the vs.
tors having been to the effect that the
charges were not sustained, that action
must must be held to apply to all the pro.
fessOrs involved.
These are some of the grounds on which
the findings of the board will lie contest.

exceptions taken the court should decide
against Professor Smyth, there are still
Other measures in contemplation, of
whose success little doubt is entertained
The five professors authorize the state

aCquittal which is not an acquittal of all
the others. They will stay or 90 together
And all the professors who have not been
accused are, as they have been from the
first, in the most complete accord with
their brethren on the question of the latter

THE BRATTLEBORO MURDER.
The Preliminary Hearing of the Accused

BRATTLEBoRO, June 21.-The preimi-
nary hearing in the case of j Ohm Sugland,
accused of the murder of Helen A. Burt,
began at the town hall to-day in the pres
ence of a large audience. Fourteen wit
nesses were examined and testified to the
identity of the body showing that the
girl was last seen in Sugland's shanty in
Dummerston last week Monday, when
she unceremonlously started for this vii
lage. Witnesses testified to Sugland's re-
peated threats to kill her and whoever
should keep company with her. Railway

All the evidence tended to establish the
fact that Sugland was in Brattleboro on
Ihursday, the day of the supposed muir
der Mr.. BabbiGt and Mrs. Mixer, who
live IN Dorman b. Eaton's house
near West river bridge, both testified tc
hearing cries of distress at about
midnight, Thursday night, which they
thought at the time were made by some
person near the iron bridge. The theory
of the State Is that these cries came from

in support of the testimony already
educed, showing that Sugland and the
girl were here together Thursday, on
which day it is claimed the victim came

day by the State and will give damag-
ing evidence against Sugland tomorrow.
The excitement increases as the trial pro.

some suspected witnesses.

tower of strength. To the idea that he

we are in position to know that if the

only wonder is that it did not happen
long ago. If Mr. Atkins could have had
his way it would have taken place the
next day after the democratic administra-

the boss's personal ends to have him
given the berth, and so he was put Off

United States Commissioner [. n.
CardOzo died at his residence. 249 Mel
son avenue, at u o'clock yesterday.
The cause of his death was chronic
bronchitis. The disease attacked him
about two weeks ago, and, although Sc
we're at first, gradually yielded to the
skill of the physician and recovery
seemed certain. But the malady
seemed to have firm hold on him, for
about two DAYS ago it returned in a
worse form than before, and found an
easy victim. Judge CardoZO'S illness
was of such short duration that his
many friends and acquaintanceS could
hardly believe the sad news.
Hon. isaac Y. CardOZo was native Of
Virginia. having been born in Rich
mond in 1920. He early became prOmi-
nent in the politics of Virginia, and, in
1851, when James Buchanan became
president, Mr.. CardOZO was appointed
United States commissioner for the
then territory of Minnesota. In that
same year he removed to st. Paul,
where he has remained the entire
thirty years of his official life.
He was appointed as a Democrat and
ever remained stauneh member and
defender of that party. He had the sat
isfaction- it was great pleasure to
him-of passing the last three years Of
his official life with the dominant pO-
litical party of his youth and early
manhood, holding the reins of govern
ment at Washington. He leaves wife
and three daughters to mourn his loss.
The funeral will occur at 10 a. IN. Fri
